Having not played a Fallout yet, I can honestly say I;m ready for my next dose of the Scrolls that are Elder.TheDrunkNinja said:Yes, Bethesda's two best titles, Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls VI: Oblivion, have been compared like crazy. Which is better? Which is more fun? Which has the most epic story? While each are similar, they both have their strong points.
Well, since that has been done like crazy, I figure it's time to twist the thinking a little bit. It doesn't matter what Bethesda has in the works right now, but rather what you would like to see come out first. It's a matter of which would get you hyped up like a five-year-old on crack the most. Since such an endeavor would take up all their time, Bethesda can only push 'em out one at a time, so the "Both" option has been scratch off the poll.
So, what is the verdict, Escapists?

That's old news right there, boyo. These days, it could be either yea or nae from the dev team. In all honesty, it probably won't be coming out next year, but there is hope for the next.Klagermeister said:How about BOTH?
But Elder Scrolls V more.
EDIT: I have AMAZING news! Elder Scrolls V is set to arrive sometime in 2010!

HOLY MOTHERF***ING SON OF A S***MUFFIN! It's not too long away!
Any true fan would recognize that a series has to end at some point. Anyone else would be FANatic (possibly with undiagnosed OCD) or a FANboy/girl. And I don't know about anyone else, but I got the distinct impression that Oblivion was meant to be a big fiery conclusion to, what I assumed, was the whole series. So when I heard they were developing TES V, I was quite surprised.feather240 said:Blasphemy!canadamus_prime said:As much as I loved both games, I have to say that both are unnecessary sequels.
Elder Scrolls. If they could jsut fix two things!
Enemies leveling. (...or as I call it an excuse for not mapping out levels for enemies.)
Leveling System (You don't grind to become good, you abstain from all tasks that aren't going to increase your desired stats.
Personally, I didn't get that impression at all. It was more like a new beginning. No emperor means that the Empire is not going to be as strong as it used to be, and thus, conflict between the provinces. I will agree with you, some series must know when to end or be given a complete make-over, such being the Silent Hill series.canadamus_prime said:Any true fan would recognize that a series has to end at some point.

Except of course that every monster was equally difficult and so it was just a total grindfest. Fallout 3 came out of the gate much better imo.Guitarmasterx7 said:Elder Scrolls. I love both games, but in oblivion you feel much less limited. like in fallout you had a certain amount of ammo for everything, a certain amount of healing items, a certain amount of radiation you could handle, health, weight, and object condition. In oblivion it was just health, magic, weight, and object condition. Magic regenerated and you could use it to restore your health so the only thing with a definite limit was weight and object condition, which makes it a lot easier to just enjoy the game as opposed to constantly running back and forth from megaton to restock on crap. Plus it's always cool to be able to shoot fireballs out of your hands.
But you said that you were excited for New Vegas whilst this thread states FO4.Srkkl said:Yes I am aware I'm just more excited for the new instalment of Fallout more.
